The analysis is handy for the most of us who don't keep our heads in the financial papers but do know blogging well. The numbers may be close or not, but I don't think these are the top 25. Where's ProBlogger? John Chow? Those blogs definitely have >$1M valuations. It was a good find Mark and an interesting read.

None of my blogs made the list. Of course you do need good content and a steady supply of readers helps :) Oh well, maybe next time. I’m shocked. None of my blogs made the list.

Oh, right ... my earnings are less than $500 a year :P Of the 25 sites they listed, I really only read one. Most of them I've never visited, and only a few have maintained or improved their level of quality over the years. While it's great that some groups of people can put in incredible efforts to earn a comfortable living through blogging (and amateur or budding journalism), these lists don't seem to carry as much weight as lists involving single-person blogs. Perhaps it's because most of us will never reach these levels of revenue. I wonder if there are any lists of "Top Bloggers Who Earn Under $10K" online.... Hmm … my blogs aren’t on that list. Oh, right … my earnings are less than $500 a year :P

Though it may be off mark the actual sales figures. Based on the CPM rates if the webmasters can hire good enough sales guys to sell to advertisers the said income may be a reality.

First of all, Weblogs Inc. (Engadget. TUAW, Download Squad, etc., etc.) doesn't make the list, but Gawker's at the top? Second of all, this isn't the first time a list like this has come out that's completely inaccurate. As you mentioned revenue is never discussed for these types of media outlets, and revenue is only one aspect of placing value on a company. Sorry, but there’s no way this is accurate.

He estimated my annual earnings at $240,000, which is far above the real figure. But I will do my best to bump the revenues in 2008 to make justice to it :).
